Breakfast at The Hedge

Apricots, Yoghurt & Honey from Epicurious

I love breakfast - it's my favourite meal of the day! Nothing fancy on week days, just fruit, yoghurt, the occasional croissant or brioche from here & good coffee. But come weekends, I like to let loose & do the full catastrophe. MOTH & I are very different in our breakfast habits, he carb loads on anything & everything. I often have to leave the kitchen as he's cooking up, as it gets too much for me so early in the morning. Very occasionally I'll treat him to his all time favourite, Scottish kippers. I absolutely abhor them & their awful odour, so he's sent outside to cook them on the side burner of the BBQ. But the noises of sheer delight emanating from him as he devours every mouthful is worth the effort - he's in food heaven. So here's some treats that really ring my bells. Hope your breakfasts this weekend are ab fab, any brekkie treats & recipes you'd like to share?

And if all else fails, get stuck into the Vanilla Breakfast (put a handful of ice into a cocktail shaker & add 120ml Vanilla Vodka & 20ml Tia Maria. Split 1 vanilla pod in half lengthways, scrape out the seeds & add to the mixture. Shake or stir, then strain into a martini glass and garnish with a halved vanilla pod.) from Waitrose
